The s.s. Hinomon, Captain Johnson, arrived yesterday at 1.30 p.m. from Wellington. She loft there on Thursday at 7 p.m., and had a most disagreeable passage owing to the thick weather. The Ocean Ranger was towed into dock at Capetown to discharge her cargo as the Thurso left on March 9th. She was to proceed to Mauritius for a cargo of sugar for this port. We understand (says the ** Australian Shipping News”) that arrangements have been entered into for the supply of a small fleet of steam colliers to develop the coal trade between Westport, Greymouth, and Wellington, and to render New Zealand independent if possible of Newcastle. Captain Raddon, of tho barque Thurso, reports that tho barquo Bolls arrived at Capo Town on March 2nd after a remarkably fine weather voyage. When in 7 E. longitude she fell in with an iron harquo named the India, belonging to Glasgow, and bound to Soath Australia with iron and machinery. Signals were made from tho India to tho Bolls, asking whether she would take tho crow on to tho Capo. Captain Burch replied that ho would accompany the barque to Cape Town if her crow stuck to her, but from tho statements of Captain McPhail, tho master of tho India, and tho crow it appeared tho -vessel was then sinking too rapidly to hope to keep her afloat for many hours, and tho master and crew, together with the captain’s wife, determined to leave her. Captain Burch then took tho crow of 17 men. Captain McPhail, and his wife on board, and carried them on to tho Capo. The abandoned vessel was still afloat when the Bells passed put of sight of her. Captain McPhail in a letter to a Capo Town paper expresses his great gratitude to Captain’ Burch for tho kindness shown to his crew and himself. Ho states that tho India had sprung a leak, and tho pumps broke down in the effort to keep her afloat, tho result being as stated. Tho barque Bolls went from tho Cape to Algoa Bav with Si or cargo, and is now on her way to Newcastle. THE THURSO. The round trip of Mr C. W. Turner’s barque Thurso to Cape Town and back to this port was accomplished in the very good time of 122 days. The vessel left here on tho 27th of December with a fall cargo of oats, rounded Capo Horn on tho twenty-ninth day out, and arrived at the Capo of Good Hope on February 20th, fifty-five days on the passage. Off the Georgia Islands the Thurso passed as many as eleven icebergs in one day. ahe left Table Bay on March 9th, and falling in with heavy easterly gules outside, only succeeded in reaching tho longitude of Algoa Bayfjnstone day and a half 'a passage from Cape Town) on the eleventh day out. On tho 10th April she was in 103 E. and 41 S., and her day’s work from there was first rate, the rnn from the Leuwin to the Snares being made in eleven days. Tho Nngget light was seen on Sunday last, and the vessel subsequently experienced very poor weather, little else bnt light north-easters and calms to arrival. Sho has returned to port as fresh, looking as if she was newly out of dock, everything about her showing nnmistakeable evidence of good management on the part of Captain Raddon and his officer. The vessel will load, it is said, for the 'Cape, proceed thence to Calcutta, and load there for this port. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Wellington, April 29, Arrived—Paroora, from London. Timard. April 29.
